I guess and hope that this change makes OSM_ID as unique identifier so it can be used as a primary key in the imported PostGIS tables. Until now I have been forced to create a new OID field for primary key.

Nope, because some OSM features translate to more than one postgis
feature and so they get the same OSM id.

Is the shop tag mentioned in the style config?

Non-slim mode is basically fine as long as you don't need anything
with relations, otherwise...

Have a nice day,
